Colin Kaepernick arrived in secrecy, made a herd of farmers laugh and a gym full of children smile, and disappeared into the clouds.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback and Reno's favorite adopted son was in town Thursday to speak at the Western Dairy Management Conference at John Ascuaga's Nugget.

The former Wolf Pack quarterback, who helped the 49ers reach the Super Bowl last month, also worked in a visit to the Truckee Meadows Boys & Girls Club where he held a Q&A session with about 200-300 children. He worked at the TMB&GC when he was a sophomore at Nevada in 2007.
